I really have nothing to say, this is like figure skating in its highest form.

Tiny flaws in the short, which takes away some spark and fire in this program. The best rendition is still the one in China.
Congratulations for being the second man to break the 200-point barrier and absolutely well deserved. Wonderful interpretation and character and style!

I think I am liking the short program more than before, despite the fall. And I love the little smile on his face after he fell as if he was thinking "Ah I fall down but thats ok". Awwwwww Shoman you are just too cute!
He sold the hell out of this long program. Just perfect.

Actually, his short was very good, the reason he got that low score is just because of the Zayak rule. But the quality and interpretation were actually still there (though i don't really the music).
And this is how you make a comeback to tell the world you are a 3-time world champion. I really like him skating to Chopin, he seems to really feel the music, and I love that.
5. Boyang Jin (CHN)
Not as good as his previous performances but it is also a reminder to him that he has refine his skating skills.
What amazed me the most is the first Quad Lutz, he could have jump over the boards! But the rest, like I said, needs refinements. And please change the music, it does not suit him at all. He has the ability to express himself, but not under this whatever boring repetitive music.

The short was still lovely despite the mistake, the Quad Salchow was to die for!
Despite the mistakes, he was still able to maintain his elegance on ice, which is gorgeous. I very enjoyed his skate.
Final thoughts:
This event was like an introduction to the battle of gods at Boston. I really can't imagine what will it be.
If I were to say anything about Yuzuru, I would give him a lower score on the interpretation and performance. He certainly expressed well, but imo, not as well as Parisienne Walkway. Parisienne Walkway is the only program, I think, that Yuzuru deserved a 10.00 for performance and interpretation. But well, it is just a personal opinion, you may ignore it :).
